The cGAS, STING, TANK‐binding kinase 1 (TBK‐1), interferon‐α (IFN‐α), IFN‐β, and tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) mRNA and protein levels in the ectopic endometrial tissue from adenomyosis patients were significantly higher compared with that from the controls in endometrium (p < .05). Here, TNF is linked to adenomyosis.
