Q: "How do G' and G'' look like individually?"

A: Data for G' look very similar to those for |G*|, whereas data for G" are too noisy.

On Page 2127 of your article, it is stated:

"It is noteworthy that the current data on theapparent stiffness of cell nuclei are rather divergent, withvalues ranging from 18 Pa to nearly 10 kPa12,25–27 due tofactors such as cell type, measurement techniques and

conditions, length scale of interest, and also interpretation methods."

How is apparent stiffness is defined here? Note I am new to the field.

Thanks for your interest. I have included a link to the paper.

can you please post a link of your paper?

We study the indentation and mechanics of cells/proteins a lot, and would like to learn something from your paper.
