Yes.

Functional data of cells harvested from donors of different ages shows much variability between individuals, but after about 40, a slow trend in decreased differentiation potential, proliferation, and other measures, appears. The decline depends upon the measure, but in general, suggests 20-40yo is the best window, and closer to 20 is likely better. The functional decline continues, but seems to get steeper around 60. Between 70-80, some studies report that the numbers of stem cells start to drop in addition to function. Here is a representative study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2398731/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2398731/
